Copan is an archaeological site in Honduras, which is located not far from the border with Guatemala. This is recognized by experts as one of the most important ruins from the Mayan Civilization in Mesoamerica. The city of Copan was once a major capital until it was occupied for more than two thousand years. One of the most recognized features within the site is the series of portrait stelae, which were positioned in a processional manner together with the adjoining acropolis. The entire site consists of pyramids, plazas, and palaces that seem to overlap with each other. The Acropolis serves as the heart of Copan.
